  • The Process of Choosing Electric Gates in Northampton

If you are looking to buy electric gates in Northampton, what should you look for? It is not necessarily the easiest purchase to make without any prior knowledge, and especially if you do not make purchases like this on a regular basis. Electric gates are an important purchase for security and access control and they can enhance the look of a property as well, making them a great purchase for businesses in essentially any industry. However, they are not cheap, so knowing that you are making the right decision with your new electric gate is very important. These are some top tips for businesses in Northampton looking to purchase a new electric gate for their premises.

An electric gate is highly beneficial so if you are unsure about whether you will be purchasing an electric or a manual gate, definitely consider the benefits of electric. They will be more secure and will have a lot more features and benefits for you, adding an extra layer of security to your property and also making it easier for you to control access in a manageable way. It is not always practical to have a security guard or a person managing access for you so having a gate system that can do it for you is more appropriate. A gate that opens automatically when a car approaches is usually preferable, unless you want higher security options and number plate recognition. It is also possible to have an intercom to increase the levels of security so if you want to ensure only authorised people can come onto your premises, install one of these along with the new electric gate.

Top tips for businesses in Northampton considering installing a new electric gate

Here are some tips to help you get the right electric gate first time:

  1. Measure up precisely. There will be multiple moving parts involved in an electric gate so it will need to be the exact size. You should measure up accurately and if you are not sure at all, get the installation company to verify the size you will need and measure up for you.
  2. Choose the style of gate that you want based on the levels of security and access control you need for your property in Northampton. The main types of electric gate that you can choose from are electric swing gates, sliding gates, cantilever gates and palisade gates. Palisade gates will be the most secure, while sliding gates will usually be more efficient and will help to save space.
  3. Think about motorising an existing gate. If you are not sure whether you want to replace your existing gate because it is already in good condition, you might be able to motorise it, saving you having to pay for a new gate along with the installation costs for it. This is a process that can be completed by many electric gate companies, even if they have not installed your existing gate. They can use a simple gate opening device to give you the functionality that you need.
